My name is Haley McCarthy from the Public Health department at Southern Connecticut State University and I am writing to invite you to participate in my research study. This is a study about the health care experiences of transgender individuals. You may be eligible if you identify as transgender, are 20 to 50 years of age and live in Connecticut.

If you decide to participate in this study, you will be asked to participate in a 2-hour focus group and may also be asked to participate in a one hour follow up in-depth interview. Participants will be partially compensated for their travel and child care expenses. [Read more →]

A most fantastic day with over 500 queer, trans and other comrades marching through the streets of Northamptom.
